 if I can find a good tangle of briars I build my nest 

 in it several feet from the ground, but as a rule 

 I would rather have it on the ground under a bush 

 or in a clump of weeds. Have you seen my cousin 

 Sprite the Pareula Warbler, yet?" 



"Not yet," said Peter, as he started for home.
